Forest Action at Nestlé HQ in Jakarta

Greenpeace activists dressed in orangutans costumes held a protest at Nestlé's Jakarta headquarters to demand that the manufacturer of Kit Kat, cut all ties with forest destroyer Sinar Mas group, including through third party suppliers like Cargill and IOI (Loders Croklaan). Greenpeace is calling on Indonesia's President Yudhoyono to declare an immediate moratorium on deforestation as it would provide the space for the implementation of longer term measures for forest protection supported by international donors. Such a moratorium would also drive investment and other related policies into both yield improvements on existing plantation areas, especially those owned by smallholders, as well as the development of plantations on non-forest areas.
